Chapter 562: Coaxing while fighting
Hearing Jessica Filton's words, Tracy Jacob's eyes immediately widened: "Miss Filton, you are intensifying the conflict!"
"It's not the first time that Mr. Depp has had a similar incident, please recall, how many times has this been?" Jessica Filton asked rhetorically, "Have you ever respected the contract?"
What virtue does Johnny Depp have, how could Tracy Jacob not know?
Jessica Filton said: "As a producer, Relativity Entertainment Group pays attention to credibility, pays attention to the spirit of contract, and respects every collaborator, but as a collaborator, should we also respect every penny of Relativity Entertainment?"
Tracy Jacob said: "Depp has always had a lot of respect for Relativity Entertainment Group and has a good personal relationship with Mr. Ronan Anderson. ”
Jessica Felton said lightly: "Mr. Anderson is also paying attention to this matter, respect is not in words, but in deeds. ”
It seems that the brain is still dominated by alcohol, or maybe it is born with such a personality, Johnson-Depp's face suddenly showed impatience, and he didn't even communicate with his agent, and said directly: "I'll quit the crew." ”
Tracy Jacob's face was full of shock, and he turned his head to look at Johnny Depp with disbelief in his eyes.
Gore Verbinski shook his head secretly, no wonder Hollywood says Johnny Depp is weird......
Jessica Felton was not surprised, but was prepared and said calmly: "Sorry, Mr. Depp, you can't quit." ”
Tracy Jacob hurriedly pulled Johnny Depp, if you really quit, this is to completely stink your reputation, who in Hollywood will dare to cooperate with you in the future?
"Depp is joking. Tracy Jacob hurriedly laughed and played the round.
Johnny Depp didn't save face for his agent at all: "I'm not kidding!"
These words made Tracy Jacob's smile stiffen on his face, and instantly turned into endless embarrassment, and then dissatisfaction.
The agent is indeed a star servicer, but respect is also mutual, and the face of an agent can be trampled on in front of outsiders casually?
Jessica Filton reminded again: "Mr. Depp, you can't quit, there is no exit clause in your actor contract. If you have to quit ......"
Tracy Jacob hastened to say, "No. ”
Johnny Depp was still a little confused, and Tracy Jacob leaned into his ear and whispered a reminder: "Because of you, I voluntarily quit the crew and have to pay huge liquidated damages." ”
Jessica Felton added, "We own all of Captain Jack Sparrow's rights, including the character image, and there are many ways for Captain Jack Sparrow to do so with the rapid development of special effects technology. ”
If Ronan were here, he would know that Johnny Depp is just the beginning compared to what he did during the filming of the later "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Many of the problems of celebrities are actually used to it.
Although it is no longer the era of the studio, the producers must not hesitate when it is time to wield the stick.
Jessica Felton gave Gore Verbinski a look, and Gore Verbinski immediately jumped out to be a good person: "John, don't be impulsive, you have to think about it carefully." What era is this? The information age! A lot of news can't be controlled at all, and if you quit and the relevant news spreads, who will dare to use you in Hollywood?"
Tracy Jacob grabbed Johnny Depp's hand and motioned him not to be impulsive, then looked at Jessica Felton, this woman is nothing, but behind her is not a small company, but Relativity Entertainment Group, a Hollywood bigwig like Ronan Anderson.
Johnny Depp really wants to run away from the crew for his own reasons, and the consequences are quite serious.
No one likes this kind of actor who doesn't follow even the most basic rules.
Jessica Felton knew that it was impossible to put pressure on her strongly, so she softened her attitude a little and said: "Ms. Jacob, no one wants this to happen, it doesn't do any good to either of us, and abiding by the contract is the most basic professional quality, and we are not asking too much." ”
"Depp!" Tracy Jacob squeezed Johnny Depp's hand hard.
Johnny Depp sat back on the sofa chair and returned to his expressionless and decadent appearance.
Tracy Jacob is a little relieved that Johnny Depp will at least not be clamoring to quit the crew anymore.
Jessica Felton took the opportunity to say: "It's not too much to say sorry to my colleagues on the set to avoid similar incidents in the future, right? ”
After the tough statement, Jessica Filton stepped back appropriately: "Forget about the breach of contract, but please respect the contract later, and don't have a similar situation again." ”
Johnny Depp is not yet a future superstar of the Caribbean series, Tracy Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his client: "Depp ......"
After concentrating on thinking for a while, Johnny Depp nodded lightly, and finally made a concession: "Yes." ”
Jessica Felton stood up, shook hands with Tracy Jacob, then nodded lightly to Johnny Depp and said, "I'll ask the crew's PR director to come over and speak with you." ”
With that said, Jessica Filton walked out of the conference room and called the Director of Publicity and PR to ask him to come over immediately.
Later, Gore Verbinski followed: "What a headache. ”
Jessica Filton nodded: "I'd rather work with Jennifer Lopez." ”
Although there are many such star problems, there is the most basic guarantee in terms of dedication.
"Will it work?" asked Gore Verbinski.
Jessica Felton smiled and said, "It should be able to manage for a few months." She sighed softly: "This kind of thing, where is there a good solution, I can only coax while fighting, and when the filming is over, he will drink and make trouble casually." ”
Gore Verbinsky thought for a moment and showed a wry smile: "That's all it can be." ”
Gore Wibinski thinks Jessica Felton and the relativistic entertainment group behind her may have such courage, but it is definitely the last option.
Jessica Felton said as she walked: "Gore, you adjust the shooting plan, I see that Johnny Depp's drunkenness has a great impact on him, don't arrange complicated scenes for him these days." ”
Gore Verbinsky nodded slightly: "I think so too. He glanced at his watch: "I'm back to the crew for nothing else, filming is still ongoing." ”
Jessica Filton answered and went upstairs alone.
Back in the room, kicking off his high heels, walking on the floor in stockings, feeling much more relaxed, sitting on the couch for a moment, still took out his phone and called Ronan.
Although the matter is settled, Ronan must also be routinely informed.
The next day, Johnny Depp, who had completely sobered up, returned to the crew, accompanied by his agent Tracy Jacob.
"I'm sorry. Johnny Depp first found the crew and director team and apologized very sincerely: "I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused to everyone." ”
Gore Verbinski smiled: "It's okay. ”
The director said so, and it was difficult for others to say anything.
Subsequently, Johnny Depp took the initiative to apologize to the actors, production team, camera crew and makeup team one by one.
No matter what he actually thinks, a good actor can always show the most sincere apology if he wants to perform.
It's just work, not friends, Johnny Depp has an attitude, and the rest of the crew won't be too careful, and the shooting is back on track.
Subsequently, Jessica Felton, as a producer, was interviewed by media reporters in person.
When a reporter asked if Johnny Depp was drunk off the set, Jessica Felton said with a smile: "It was planned by the crew. During the filming, Captain Jack Sparrow had a drunken scene, Depp was very dedicated, because he couldn't find the feeling for a long time, he deliberately took time out to get drunk and experience the feeling of being drunk for himself, Johnny Depp is a dedicated and good actor!"
Johnny Depp has already shown something, and Jessica Felton naturally won't break his word.
Ronan also took the time to come to Rosario and take a look at the artificial lake set.
"The shoot went well and wide. Director Gore Wibinski put it bluntly: "Most of the trouble comes from Johnny Depp. ”
Ronan nodded and said, "I'll let Shahai Entertainment put pressure on Tracy Jacob." ”
Gore Verbinski added: "Since Jesse spoke to Johnny Depp and Tracy Jacob, Johnny Depp has been doing well in this time. He cocked his thumb at Ronan: "Jesse is very good, it's not easy for a woman to do what she does." ”
Ronan couldn't help but laugh: "Jesse eats with skill and ability. ”
Gore Verbinski laughed: "That's too accurate. ”
Although Ronan is still focusing on the Pirates of the Caribbean series, he is no longer in charge of the specific work, this series has established a success model, at least these two sequels are not a big problem, as long as they follow the established pattern, success is not a problem.
Taking advantage of the gap between shooting, Ronan found Johnny Depp and asked directly, "Do you like the role of Captain Sparrow?"
Johnny Depp understood what this meant, and knew that Ronan was not a professional producer like Jessica Felton, so after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I like the character of Captain Jack very much, he is a complex character, very mysterious, you can never guess his heart." But he's still a man of integrity, and he's always able to step up when he's in trouble. I wish I was him. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "I hope so, too." ”
He didn't say much, left the actor's lounge and went straight to Jessica Felton.
